Responding to Labour MPs voting to cut Winter Fuel Payments, Andrew RT Davies MS, Leader of the Welsh Conservatives, said:
“Wales will remember what Labour has done today.
“Welsh Labour MPs have put their party ahead of pensioners and will be culpable for a fuel poverty crisis among pensioners in Wales.
“The next few months are going to be incredibly difficult for pensioners, and for that Labour should hang their heads in shame.”
Joel James MS, Shadow Minister for Social Partnership, said:
“This move by the Labour Party will have a profoundly damaging impact in Wales.
“Wales has an older population, and so the pain caused by this unforgivable decision will be felt even more harshly here.
“The Welsh Conservatives will not stop fighting to keep pensioners warm this winter.”
